Hotel Butler

Hotel groups are well-known for their Butler services and it's a major selling point for upscale brands.

 

The whole idea of a modern, day Butler is a dedicated staff member whose entire job is to provide a luxurious, professional and personal service to the guest, and increasing the hotel growth and profitability.

 

 

But what exactly does a hotel Butler do?

 

The Butler plays a huge part in the guest's arrival experience and always make sure they have a personalized service and their stay at the hotel is memorable.

 

Butler service at the St. Regis has been a signature for the iconic luxury brand for over 100 years.

 

At the Sandals, One & Only, The Peninsula, just to mention a few, the Butlers service made the exclusivity of the brand and that unique personal touch to every guest, where there are zero complains and service and satisfaction make them to come back again.

 

Starting with a pre-arrival wishing list, ensuring that the Butler is prepared for any special requests such as dietary restrictions, babysitting needs, or special occasion to the delivery of a cell phone for any request on call with privacy, the Butler service made all the difference in a short or long stay for business or holidays in any hotel, of course with an extra cost.

 

 

And what about training?

 

From our 30 hours to 2 weeks training certified, the modern butler training program will introduce to each professional all the expected duties of a butler, valet or personal assistant, the practical experience and confidence as well as the expert knowledge to set him apart from others.

 

Butlers come from a variety of backgrounds, multi-cultural experience and the exact requirements for the job varies between properties.

There are several prestigious Butlers schools and training around the world, based on the English traditional old school for the household Butler, adapted to the hotel services.

 

We at Butlers Academy undertake the 3 days and/or 2 weeks, on the floor, certification training to prepare what the hotel needs from a modern Butler.

 

We assure that our trainees will receive a professional, special highly training from different areas within the hotel to pride themselves on providing the best service to their guests and make your hotel stand out from the competition.

 

A hotel with a Butler is clearly offering superior service and in a world where five stars are not enough anymore for many guests, the hotel industry has to offer more. Sceptics may feel a Butler just sounds good on the list of hotel amenities but it seems that luxury travellers are getting used to the idea and not only expect a Butler to be available but also know how to make use of one.
